	[An audible sigh of relief ] You alright, kid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm okay. Are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle bicepstospare 2014-06-10 03:35 am UTC (link)
	Thank fuckin' God. Jesus. Something weird happen to you last night? Because as of about fifteen seconds ago I was convinced I'd gotten you killed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 04:31 am UTC (link)
	If by 'something weird' you mean ended up in someone else's body, then yeah. [...] You were in mine? What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle bicepstospare 2014-06-10 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I was in your body. And Wren's cousin lit me on fire. It was all very Shakespearean. [a beat] Tell me about these claws of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Wait, what? Brielle set you on fire? [Paaaaause.] Uh. They're part of [...] what happened after the pulse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle bicepstospare 2014-06-10 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Burnt right up. [A thoughtful hmm] I can move metal objects with my mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 05:10 am UTC (link)
	How? [Eyebrow raise.] Like Magneto. That's cool. Just don't, you know, go rogue on us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle bicepstospare 2014-06-10 06:46 am UTC (link)
	She has some kind of fire power. Manipulation. Or something. I don't know, it wasn't pretty. I ain't going rogue, but I'll tell you I might have if I had to tell Wren I got you burnt to a crisp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 07:01 am UTC (link)
	[Frown.] Weird. I mean, she and I don't talk so I wouldn't know, but... I didn't. Know. About the fire thing. [Pause.] Luckily you don't. In fact [...] maybe don't mention this to Wren at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle bicepstospare 2014-06-10 07:04 am UTC (link)
	[grumble grumble grumble] Kid. If she asks, I'm not lying to her. I felt fine not mentioning it to her at all until it became an interest to you whether I do or not. What do I need to know here? And strictly need to know, I ain't got time for the Real World: X-Men right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 07:18 am UTC (link)
	[Sigh.] Look, things between Wren and Brielle are [...] not good. And if she finds out that her body burned mine to death-- if she finds out that's something she's capable of, she'll go do something stupid. I know her. [Pause, and a hint of guilt.] I just need to find the right way to tell her, so she's careful but not reckless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[GRUMBLE]

You don't think it's a good idea she knows someone she's not good with has the power to light things on fire?

Luke, I know shit is hard - and Wren acts crazy at least thirty-three percent of the time, but don't you think she ought to hear it from you before she hears it from me? Or finds out from another source? Or worse, first hand? You can't stop her from doing crazy shit, so accept that and find a way to tell her that will tone down, rather than cancel out the crazy.

I'm not saying you gotta tell her all the gorey details. Just the basics, keep her safe if that's a concern. You gotta tell her. Today.

	[Long pause. SIGH, logic.] Okay, okay. Look, I'll tell her. But I'm leaving out the part where my body got burned to a crisp, because that won't end well. [...] I'm meeting her in an hour. I'll tell her then. [Pause.] She'd be really pissed if she heard it from you and not me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Smirk] Don't you hate that I'm a grown up now? I used to be so much more fun. Take care, kid. And if she goes thirty-four percent mad with rage let me know and I'll try and help, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/kyle aneternity 2014-06-10 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Ugh, grown ups. You're one of them now. Max never wants me to do anything fun either. [Mollified.] I will, thanks. Fingers crossed that we don't reach thirty four percent, but if that happens you're my backup. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I bet she doesn't. Of course. Call if either of you need anything. [click] (Reply to this) (Parent)
